These guys are good. Was nervous about getting an accountant but these came with a recommendation, and Jon-Paul in particular. Honestly, the best money I've spent - the phrase 'a stitch in time saves nine' comes to mind. They took all the hassle out of my tax returns, are friendly and, most importantly, have a lot of common sense and don't just sign off after you've done all the leg work.
